When I left my company they gave me my laptop, and now I'm getting a message that I need to renew my Windows license. It was originally a company license, however I'll need a personal license.

    Probably the license manage using server and since you left the company you won't be able to renew it. It is better to check with the IT department of your company.

    Depending on the edition of Windows you are using, you either could change license or you need to perform a clean install of Windows.

    Hello,

    If you received a laptop from your company with a Windows license, it is likely that the license was issued through a volume licensing agreement. These licenses are typically managed by the company's IT department and are not transferable to individuals.

    To obtain a personal license for your laptop, you will need to purchase a new license from Microsoft or an authorized reseller. You can purchase a license online from the Microsoft Store or from a physical retail store. Once you have obtained a new license, you can activate it on your laptop by following the instructions provided with the license.

    Please note that if your laptop was originally issued with a volume license, you may need to perform a clean installation of Windows to activate the new license.

    Best Regards
